Freezing herbs and fruit... I'd love to start canning though!

Every year I give up sweets -- meaning all baked goods (except regular bread), chocolate, candy, etc. -- and every year, it's incredibly hard for me. That's why I keep doing it... haha. I'm also starting Pre-Cana for my wedding today, so this Lent especially will be dedicated to examining our relationship and pondering the sanctity of marriage. I think that's a pretty good commitment!

Good luck to everyone & your fasts!

I agree with jesswalker, Trilby... I'm a woman and 2 slices is the minimum lunch for me. 1 leaves me feeling unsatisfied and angry I didn't eat more.

Whew... thanks dbcurrie & FierceGeek. My pre-injected bird is brining right now, and I was really scared there for a minute, haha. Didn't read the label carefully either.

Get a rotisserie oven instead. Extra oven space AND crispy bird. Win, win.

Best. Cereal. Ever. End of story.

Thanks Brian. It's true... when I visit Wilkes-Barre, all I do is eat. There's a good reason for that.

I don't know, before I would have said that's ridiculous... because I live in New York and consider our tap water pretty decent.

Then... I went to Vegas. Their water is DISGUSTING. I seriously never thought tap water could be so gross. I would have totally paid $1 for filtered water out there. Blech.

I admit it. I stopped reading as soon as I saw Alton's doing a new mini series. I had to catch my breath for a moment. Add to that the fact that it's about foods that influenced history and I'm ready to piddle with excitement. Only downside... I have to wait until late 2010?! Damn you, Brown, for being so thorough in your research and development!!

Tu Casa Dominican restaurant in Queens.

You must must MUST go to Leo Burdock for fish & chips. Classic Dublin. It's around the corner from Christ Church on Werburgh St. There's no seating there, but you can take the little butcher paper wrapped package anywhere nearby... Christ Church, Dublin Castle, etc. to grab a seat and chow down. So good! I'm jealous, take me to Dublin... I miss it!

I think Vince and Billy Mays need to have an enthusiastic-hand-gestures throwdown.

I'm right there with you HappyJack. I get into the office before most and that's my SEing time. I also come back multiple times throughout the workday, but I'm rarely on when I'm home because that's when I spend my time cooking and baking!
